    I hope that's not your Christmas present but I suppose it will do :roll:
    :P :P I know how happy your are and what fun you are having. I broke down and bought my Memory Craft 6600 (Janome) about 3 years ago. It was almost an impulse buy but I really needed a decent sewing machine. Can you believe I haven't tried all the stitches on mine? Look how much more sewing you're going to get done and faster too because it has a needle threader, right and a walking foot?. Those are my favorite features. GOOD FOR YOU!!!!

    It's fun to share this with all of you. :D

    Jackie--I haven't figured out the needle threader--it's, so far, just easier to thread it the long way. Or is it the long way? :roll:

    Dawn--my first creation was an oak leaf, a tulip, and a perfect 1/4" seam. Is that good enough? :wink:

    Harmony--I'm not sure what feature you mean. It has a lot of neato things... like a walking foot that's part of the machine and locks into nearly every presser foot. I haven't tried free motion yet.

    Elizabeth--I already emailed about those stitches. :D

    I have to work on report card comments (I do involved ones :roll: ) so I can't play tonight!! Darn. Plus--there are Parent-Teacher conferences till late two night this week--so this is going to be torture.

    Do you think my old machine feels bad? I told her she needed to rest before Rachel gets her in a few years. :D Plus, I think it'll be nice to have two machines in case one has to go to get adjusted or be cleaned.
